Impressive results

Aboneng told the PEUBO stakeholders dinner that the loan book has also grown significantly and this phenomenon growth is showing an upward trend.

“This growth is attributable to the due diligence and commitment of the board,” he said.

Upon assuming office in 2015, Aboneng heaped the PEUBO board with praises for developing a strategy which formed a financial path that was followed to reach the greater heights the company has reached.

With a clientele of an estimated 3 500, Aboneng added that the continued impressive performance of PEUBO is expected to translate into gains and benefits by its shareholders.

An equally impressed PEUBO General Manager, Ned Phatshwane said his company is living the mission of excellent, affordable and accessible products and financial services, sustainable uplifting of our customer given the number of applications they receive per day.
